These two tribulation
witnesses are literal
2 personalities who
are going to appear in the 70th week of Daniel!
They are
ancient (2) Prophets
from historical OT Israel!
They are preparing the way of the
second coming of the
Messiah, Who will come as King of kings and as
Lord of lords! In Scriptural history (records)
only two mortal men escaped death and were
translated into Heaven.

& They
are wearing a sackcloth
& They
will perform miracles!
& They
will perform their Ministry of prophesying
for G-D for 1260 days!
& They
will be killed; and
die; their dead
bodies will have to lie in the street for 3½
days!
&
But...after 3½
days they will
rise again!
& Before
the very eyes of their enemies
they
ascended into Heaven in a cloud!

Prophet Elijah
was the
second man to be taken to Heaven in a natural body, (2 Kings 2:11), Enoch
being the first (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5; see Enoch)
Both now reside in Heaven in their natural mortal bodies,
having never died! However,
they will die their own appointed death on earth as the 'two
witnesses' of the future tribulation period(Zacharias 4:11-14; Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation11:3-12;)
But also
Moses
could be a "candidate", because he represented the Law of God,
but he died!
Than in the book of Zechariah;
Chapter 4
there are also 2 other potential candidates (?) to be the 2 witnesses: Zerubbabel
& Joshua! (Also
men must also die to fulfill
Hebrews 9:27)

Many of the early
Christians, likewise Irenaeus; Tertullian
& Hippolytus were believing that
Enoch &
Elijah will be the
2 tribulation witnesses!
Quote: ...And I say to you, O my brethren,
that they also, Enoch
and Elias [Elijah],
most toward the end of time return into the
world and die - in the day, namely of commotion,
of terror, of perplexity, and affliction. For
Anti-christ will
slay four bodies, and will poor out their blood
like water. {The
Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 8, Page 394;
http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/)

NOTE: The Early
Church Fathers is a 38-volume collection of
writings from the first 800 years of the Church.
This collection is divided into three series,
Ante-Nicene (ANF), Nicene and
Post-Nicene Series I (NPNF1), and Nicene and
Post-Nicene Series II (NPNF2 These writings are
not the
Bible/Scripture!
This collection of early Christians who wrote
are not inspired. They are not
part of the
Bible.
They are absolutely not authoritative in
determining doctrine.
ONLY THE
BIBLE/Scripture,
(sola scriptura)
is
authoritative and inspired!The BIBLE/Scripture
is our sole guide. However, these quotes do
contain an interesting snapshot of the doctrine
early Christians believed after the apostolic
age. All quotes are sorted by date. But one
final warning. ,There are
forgeries
within what Christians commonly call the:
"Early Church Fathers". Some of
the
forgeries
are obvious, but for others, there really cannot
be sure what is forgery and what is genuine.{http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/}

So we do
not know really sure who are to be the two witnesses? But some day in G-d's
Divine appointed moment of time they will appear during the Tribulation-time!
Personal, I believe that Elijah
is one of the 'candidates'! Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the Lord: (Malachi
4:5)
(Tribulation-period or "Jacobs trouble"; "Part
in Daniel’s 70th")

In
Revelation 11:3,
two witnesses arise to prophesy
to the nations during the time of tribulation
and will be given incredible power by G-d! (Revelation
13:3-6)!
They are the usefully effective "vessels"
G-d will use to call forth the first six
trumpets mention in
Revelation Chapters 8-9! In spite of
G-d's super-natural protection and the power
they are using from G-d, they be be persecuted
as well! When they are bringing plague after
plague upon the face of the Earth, the
beast and his followers
will view these witnesses as
their enemies! The
supernatural protection of G-d will last for
three and half years.
(Revelation 11:5) G-d allow
them to be killed
by the antichrist. The whole world
rejoices at the deaths
of these two witnesses, who have caused trouble by saying what the
people didn’t want to hear—words about their sin,
their need for repentance, and the coming punishment. Sinful people hate those
who call attention
to their sin
and who urge them to repent! They hatedChrist,
and they hate His followers (1 John 3:13).
When you obey Christ
and take a stand against sin, be
prepared to experience the world’s hatred. But remember that the great
reward awaiting you in heaven far outweighs any suffering that you face
now!

But...after
3½
days they will rise again!

But...after 3½
days they will rise again! It is the Lord our
G-d Who will raise them back to life before
audience world-wide. It seems to be possible to
comprehend, how this can ever happen! Probably
the Apostle John had a view on our day
technologies. Now it can happen and all around
the world throughout cable news people can watch
such an "incomprehensible" spectacle! And
after three days and an
half the
Spirit of life
from G-d entered into them,
and they
stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them
which sawthem.
(Revelation 11:11)

The spirit of life entered into them, and they stood upon their feet
again The spirit of life in
one makes the body live, but when 'the spirit'
leaves the body it
dies(James. 2:26). This proves the two distinct natures (mortal
bodies) of these 2 men -- the material and
spiritual natures!

Before
the very eyes of their enemies
they
ascended into Heaven in a cloud!
Then [the
two witnesses]
heard a strong voice from heaven calling to
them,
Come up here!
And before
the very eyes of their enemies
they
ascended into Heaven in a cloud. (Revelation
11:12
Amp.)

Will see theirdead bodies…
Nearly 2000 years ago the idea of everybody from
all over the Earth seeing the same event would
be impossible. Today with cable; satellite TV,
internet and radio, dramas of the world
unfold daily. Events in Jerusalem, daily find
their way into homes, causing everybody to form
an opinion on the issues of the Jewish state of
Israel. For 3½
days the world will have time to make sure they
are dead. The earth will be celebrating and
savoring their death because through them the
judgments from Heaven fell on earth. The
two witnesses' death and ministry is a 'passion
play', of the events in Jerusalem 2000 years
ago. They are living witnesses to
Yeshua Messiah / Jesus Christ,
they are a demonstration of G-d’s love
to
an evil world.

When a Jew dies in Jerusalem, that person is
buried the same day. When a Muslim dies, that
person is also buried the same day. However, if
a person who has blasphemed Islam is slain,
often that person's body is laid in the streets
and spat uponand kicked, and the corpse is publicly
humiliated in various Islamic nations!

Who are the 2 witnesses
during tribulation?

What
here is explained is important to know! It will not put a certain
'doctrine" on you. You have to make you own conclusion out of this
study. There are different opinions, which I respect. Here in this site
I will open the possibilities and opportunities concerning the
revelation about the 2 witnesses in the Tribulation time! Who are they
really? It will give you a way to think but more to pray about God's
plan and His preparation in the last days! Personal I belief that Enoch
and Elijah
are the 2 tribulation witnesses! It is up to you according the
Scripture
to conclude, whether these are the right persons or not! I am not in the
intension to put a debate about it. I simply put some Scriptural
'nuggets' before you!...Paul van Beek

Moses
could be a "candidate", because he represented the Law of G-D,
but he died!

(Deuteronomy 34:5)
So Moses . . . died—after having governed the Israelites forty years.
(Deuteronomy
34:6)
He buried him—or, “he was buried in a valley,” i.e., a ravine or gorge
of the Pisgah. Some think that he entered a cave and there died, being,
according to an ancient tradition of Jews and Christians, buried by
angels (Numbers 21:21; Jude 1:9).
But no man should known of his sepulcher unto this day—this concealment
seems to have been owing to a special and wise arrangement of
Providence, to prevent its being ranked among “holy places” and made the
resort of superstitious pilgrims or idolatrous veneration
in later ages! Some people believe Moses will be one of the witness in
Tribulation time, because he represents the Law, ...but Moses
died! And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment.(Hebrews 9:27)Man's inescapable
appointment!"Be laid up" (Luke. 19:20; Colossians.
1:5; 2
Timothy 4:8). It is appointed or laid up
by divine decree: "Dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return" (Genesis 3:19). This law of death will hold firm for all men
until the time of the rapture (The great
assembly of the righteous saints) when the
living who are to be translated will not see
death (1Corinthians
15:51-58; 1Thessalonians 4:13-16; Philippians 3:21). There were people who were resurrected back to life,
like Lazarus,
'died' a second time
(but still his body was still in existence even
it was in a grave), so it is not impossible,
but Moses body is buried and gone.
ONLY
Enoch
&
Elijah
were with their mortal
body catch up into Heaven and so will return
with their mortal
body back on Earth during
Tribulation
and after their fulfillment of their
ministry during tribulation-period, will die
(their appointed
death) when the
antichrist has killed
them! Again they will be resurrected to life in
this time in a immortal body just as all the
resurrected righteous saint during the 'great
assembly of the righteous saints!
These
two
witnesses bear strong resemblance to Moses
(?) and Elijah,
two of God’s mighty prophets.
With God’s power, Moses called plagues down upon the nation of Egypt
(Exodus 7–11).
Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal(1 Kings 18).
Both of these men appeared with Yeshua/Christ
at His transfiguration! (Matthew 17:1-7).

Enoch; a very remarkable &
Mysterious ancient prophet in the Scripture!
(Before the flood of
Noah!)
It is fair to say
that the patriarch Enoch
was as well known to the ancients as he is obscure to modern
Bible readers. Besides giving his age (365 years), the Book of Genesis
says of him only that he "walked
with God,"
and afterward "he
was not,
because God
had taken him"(Genesis
5:24). God "translated"
him without dying as in Elijah's
case (2 Kings 2; Hebrews 11:5).
His biography is brief but outstanding—one sentence revealing
the history of 365 years, 300 of which were spent believing,
being humble and holy, walking with God. This
exalted way of life and mysterious demise made Enoch into a figure of
considerable fascination, and a cycle of legends grew up around
him!
Enoch
did
NOT
see
death!
Enoch
represented God’s judgment on the days before
the
Noah's
flood!

And
Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and
he begat Enoch:
(Genesis 5:18) And
all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years (962)
and he died! (Genesis 5:20) Enoch(7-th generation after
Adam!)was the father of the oldest man
on record of human history: Methuselah, whose age became
969
years! And Enoch lived
sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: (Genesis
5:21) And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and
nine years: and he died. (Genesis 5:27)

(REMARK!
There is an other "Enoch" recorded inGenesis!
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare "Enoch": and
he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the
name of his son, "Enoch". (Genesis 4:17)This is
not the Enoch of Seth's linewho was the
seventh from Adam(Genesis 5:18-24; Jude 1:14).This 'Enoch' was third from Adam in Cain's line. This
(other) 'Enoch'
was the eldest son of Cain and father of Irad, the world
first city was named after him!)

It is significant
that his name was the first after the middle of
ten names from Adam to Noah.
In the day of his son Enoch,
God foretold the flood as a judgment upon the apostate
and corrupt race!

The Book of Enoch,
written during the second century B.C.E., is one of the most
important non-canonical apocryphal works, and probably had a
huge influence on early Christian, particularly Gnostic,
beliefs. Filled with hallucinatory visions of Heaven and hell,
angels and devils,
Enoch
introduced concepts such as fallen angels,
the appearance of a Messiah,
Resurrection, a Final Judgment, and a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth.
Interspersed with this material are quasi-scientific digressions
on calendrical systems, geography, cosmology, astronomy, and
meteorology.

The fact that
something sounds strange, even weird, does not mean that it is
necessarily unreal! After all, we are in the End Times and
things will get even stranger and much more distasteful before
the Messiah
returns to end it all as we know it, and then start a new,
perfect and beautiful world. I pray that you all are able to
discern in these alternative news and articles the actual
fulfillment of many prophecies
which multiple generations of believers longed for the honor to
see and live!

Dead Sea Scrolls,
collection of more than 700 Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek
manuscripts discovered in a group of caves near Khirbat Qumr'n
in Jordan, at the northwestern end of the Dead Sea. The leather and papyrus
scrolls, which survive in varying states of preservation, came to light in a
series of archaeological finds that began in 1947. The manuscripts have been
attributed to members of a previously unknown Jewish brotherhood. The
scrolls include manuals of discipline, hymnbooks, biblical commentaries, and
apocalyptic writings; two of the oldest known copies of the Book of Isaiah,
almost wholly intact; and fragments of every book in the Old Testament
except that of Esther. Among the latter is a fanciful paraphrase of
the Book of
Genesis. Also
found were texts, in the original languages, of several books of
the
Apocrypha
and
Pseudepigrapha.
These texts—none of which was included in the Hebrew canon of
the Bible—are Tobit, Sirach, Jubilees, portions of
Enoch,
(Like also include the book of
Giants) and the Testament of
Levi, hitherto known only in early Greek, Syriac, Latin, and
Ethiopic versions.

Enoch
prophesied that the Lord is going to
return!
And
Enoch
also, the seventh
from Adam,
prophesied
of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with
ten thousands of his
saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to
convince all that are
ungodly
among them of all
their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and of all their hard speeches which
ungodly sinners have spoken against
Him. (Jude 1:13-15)
This refers to the second
coming of Yeshua Messiah or Christ as conquering King, with all the resurrected
saints who will have been raptured at least
seven years before this (2 Thessalonians. 2:7-8,Zechariah 14:5; Revelation 19:14)..
Where Jude learned of this
prophecy is not known, unless it was from the book of
Enoch
which was known in the early church.
(Origen, Tertullian, and others mention a book by this name!).

&
Both
never died!
&
Both men
were taken in Heaven alive & bodily!
&
Both men
were alive when Zechariah saw his vision
&
Enoch
gave the first
prophecy
of Yeshua's 2-sd return & the coming judgment
(Jude 14-15)
&
Both men
must also die to fulfill
Hebrews 9:27
&
Elijah
is predicted to return before the terrible 'Day
of the Lord"! (Malachi 4:5)
&
Enoch
was a Gentile, and
Elijah
was a Jew!
&
Elijah
will produce judgments
against his enemies!

These two witnesses do have the power…

These two witnesses do have the power… During the period of Elijah ministry he prayed and rain stopped
for 3.5 years. (James 5:16), this will be repeated during the 1st
half of the tribulation-period. The
source of the Judgments that fall on the earth
during the first
3½ years will proceed from Jerusalem.

When they finish their testimony…The time of

that there time, their mission is complete. The
will be the reason many on the earth findYeshua/Christ. They openly proclaim him with their judgments. This will be a
spiritual battle for the souls of men.

The
End Time,
End Times,
or
End of Days are
the
eschatological
writings...

The
End Time,
End Times,
or
End of Days
are the
eschatological
writings in the
three
Abrahamic
religions (Judaism,
Christianity,
and Islam)
and in doomsday
scenarios in
various other
non-Abrahamic
religions.

In
Christianity,
the
End Times
are often
depicted as a
time of tribulation
that precedes
the
Second Coming
of the Christian
“Savior“
or a “hoped-for
deliverer”,
Jesus or Yeshua,
the Christian
Messiah, who
will usher in
the Kingdom of
God and bring an
end to suffering and
evil.

In
Islam,
Yawm al-Qiy-mah "the Day of Resurrection" or
Yawm ad-Din "the Day of
Judgment",
Allah's final
assessment of
humanity, is
preceded by the
end of the
world.

In
Judaism
the term “End of
Days” is taken
from the Tanakh,
Numbers 24:4,
as a reference
to the Messianic
era and the
Jewish belief in
the coming of
'Mashiach'
Various other
religions also
have
eschatological
beliefs
associated with
turning and
redemption.

The Eastern
Orthodox Church
teaches that theTwo
Witnesses
will be
Enoch and Elias or Elijah
(the two
individuals who
entered bodily
into Heaven),
who will be sent
back to earth to
preach during
the Great Tribulation,
and they will be
the last martyrs
before the Second Coming!

Baptist, John
the Apostle, and
every
other man living after 500 B.C.

15

When the
1260-day
ministry is
finished the
supernatural
angelic spirit
out of the abyss
will use the
human
Antichrist
to kill
them!

Revelation
11:7

16

Since it is appointed unto
man once to die
..., it is
certain that
they are
two men
who have
never
died so that
they can die at
the hands of the Antichrist in the future. This excludes
Moses or any other man who has already
died as one of the witnesses.

The adoption;
redemption of
our body refers
to the change of
our bodies from
mortality to
immortality!
Just like one is
adopted from one
family to
another, saints
are to be
adopted
physically into
the family of
immortal beings.

Should
somebody who
died and obtain
a Heavenly
immortal body,
go back to Earth
and die again?

A great
number of people
are going
through the
rapture and will
receive our
immortal body.
Should 2 of them
return and die
again? Are

there

144.000
redeemed saints
or 143.998
before the
Throne of God?

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:
Hebrews 9:27

Philippians.
3:21; 1Cor.
15:51-58; Romans
8:23
There were
144,000 who
were sealed from
all the tribes
of Israel:
Revelation 7:4

And no one could
learn this song
except those
144,000who had been redeemed from the earth.(Raptured) Revelation 14:3

17

They
will remain dead for 3 1/2 days and then be
resurrected!
This further indicate that they are
two men who have
never died and
that they will not be resurrected, immortal men when they come from
heaven to begin their ministry.

Revelation 11:8-11

18

There would seem to be only two men in the
Scripture who
could fulfill these facts about the
two witnesses.
They are
Enoch
and
Elijah.
That
Elijah
will be one of
them is clearly
predicted in
Malachi 4:5-6.

John the
Baptist
was
never
Elijah,
fulfilling this
prophecy.
He said that he
was
not
Elijah.
He only came in
the
same spirit
and power of
Elijah
to prepare the
hearts of people
for the
Messiah's
first coming in
the way that
Elijah
will prepare
their hearts for
the
second coming
of the
Messiah!

Enoch
is the only
other man
transported so
that he would
not
experience death
in his lifetime
on earth!
He
went with his
mortal
body into Heaven
likewise
Elijah!

Both were
prophets
of judgment. Both
must come back and die their own appointed death on earth, as
all men must who live before the rapture. (The great assembly
of the righteous
saints)

If either
Enoch
or
Elijah
had been
transported in
immortal,
glorified
bodies, they
would have been
the
first fruits
of the
resurrection
instead of
Christ
/
Yeshua!
This indicate
they
are in heaven in their
natural
mortal bodies. They will
continue there until their return to fulfill Revelation 11!

The lives ofEnoch
and Elijah
are parallel in
every sense, so
their cases rise
or fall together
as to being the
real
two witnesses!

Malachi 4:5-6

John 1:21

No.

A part of the last
prophecy in the O.T. It concerns the return of
Elijah the
prophet (not John the Baptist or some other
man) to the
earth, from
heaven, shortly
before the
coming of the
great and
dreadful day of
the Lord; which
refers to the
Tribulation
period.

The fact that
Zerubbabel ask
in the vision
who these
two
witnesses where,
makes it clear
that he could
not be one of
them, otherwise
he could
recognize
himself as one
of the
2
anointed one!
These are the
two olive
trees, and the
two lamp
stands standing
before the G-D
of the earth.

Elijah(Malachi 4:5,6); Identifying
one of the Two Tribulation WitnessesDake's Bible Note's

Behold, I will
send you
Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of
the LORD: And he shall turn the
heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers, lest I
come and smite the earth with a curse. (Malachi
4:5-6) This is part of the last
prophecy in the O.T. It concerns the return of
Elijah the prophet (not John the Baptist or some other
man) to the earth, from heaven, shortly before
the coming of the great and dreadful day of the
L-rd; which refers to the
Tribulation period.
(Malachi
4:5-6). At that time there will be one of the
greatest spiritual awakenings in the history of
mankind. The hearts of fathers and sons, all
children and parents, will be turned toward one
another; families will be united in Yeshua/Christ;
the Holy Spirit will be outpoured upon
all flesh and even all of Israel will be saved
as a result of the ministry of
Elijah and
Enoch as in
Malachi 4:5-6; and
Revelation 11:3-10;
Acts 2:16-21;
Romans 11:25-29;
Isaiah. 66:7-8 and other scriptures will be literally fulfilled. All this will come to pass instead of a curse
upon the earth!

Elijah
appeared on the Mount of transfiguration with
Yeshua
and
Moses
(Matthew 17:2,3)
Caught up bodily and alive in a whirlwind;
Elijah
did NOT see
death!
(2 Kings 2:11)

This is part of the
last prophecy
in the O.T. It concerns the return of Elijah the prophet
(not John the Baptist or some other man) to the earth, from heaven,
shortly before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the L-rd
(Malachi 4:5-6).
At that time here will be one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in
the history of mankind. The hearts of fathers and sons, all children
and parents, will be turned toward one another; families will be united
in
Yeshua/Christ;
the Holy
Spirit will
be outpoured upon all flesh and even all of Israel will be saved
as a result of the ministry of Elijah
and Enoch
as in
Malachi 4:5-6; and Revelation 11:3-10; Acts 2:16-21;
Romans 11:25-29; Isaiah 66:7-8 and other
scriptures
will be literally fulfilled. All this will come to pass instead of a
curse upon the earth!

2 other
'potential' candidates
(?) to be the 2 witnesses: Zerubbabel
& Joshua!?

And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive
branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of
themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou
not what these be?
And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones,
that stand by the L-rd of the whole earth. (Zechariah. 4:12-14)
The fact that Zerubbabel ask in the vision who these two witnesses
where, makes it clear that he could not be one of them, otherwise he
could recognize himself as one of the 2 anointed one! The
two anointed
tribulation witnesses are not specific referring to
Joshua and Zerubbabel in this vision,
dedicated for this special task!

These witnesses;
2 prophets
are the two olive
trees and the two lamp-stands
which stand before the Lord of the earth.
(Revelations 11:4)

Prophet Elijahwas the
second man to be taken to Heaven in his natural body!

2 Kings 2:11

3

The
bodies made part
of the multitude
of captives
Yeshua/Christ
captured from satan in the
underworld. These
bodies (in the area of Jerusalem) made part of the multitude of captives
Yeshua/Christ
captured from satan in the
underworld of departed spirits
and which He took captive with Him when He ascended on high (Ephesians
4:8-10; Hebrews 2:14-15).
Now when Christians die they no longer go into the lower parts of the
earth held captive by the
devil
against their will, but go to heaven to await the resurrection of the
body (2
Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:21-24; Revelation. 6:9-11; Hebrews 12:22).
The wicked continue to go
to hell to
await their resurrection (Luke 16:19-31;
Revelation 20:11-15). There is no
evidence in the Scriptures
when these specific resurrected saints went up into Heaven, but the
expected and only 'point of view' should be together with the Lord's
descending to Heaven!.

And the graves
were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And
came out of the graves after His
resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (Matthew 27:52-53)

Yeshua Messiah
or Jesus
Christ
ascended
And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up;
and a cloud received Him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9)

The "rapture" of the righteousness!
(First-Fruits-Righteous-Believers)a.
For the L-rd himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of G-D: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; KJV)
b.Behold, I show you a
mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all
be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet {Shofar} shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (KJV)
c.For the mystery of
iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked
be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit
of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
His coming: (2
Thessalonians 2:7-8) When? When he (the
righteous ones) who hinders will be taken out of the way, "then shall
that wicked
be revealed"! Antichrist
cannot possibly come until after the rapture of the righteous
ones of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16.
All who go in Yeshua/Christ's rapture will not be here during
the days of Antichrist
and during the tribulationof
(Revelation
6:1-9:21; Matthew 24:15-21; Daniel 12:1).

144,000
were sealed
and the
multitude in
white robes in
Revelation
7:3-10; Revelation 14:3

This great
choir sang a
wonderful new
song in front of
the Throne of
G-D and before
the four living
beings and the
twenty-four
elders. And no
one could learn
this song except
those 144,000who had been
redeemed from
the earth.
(Revelation
7:3-10)

The
'rapture' - 'Harpazo' of the righteous 'uncompromising' Saints
before the Tribulation period is the
second resurrection;
ending the first
resurrection which began with
the resurrection of
Yeshua/Christ.
The third
resurrection that of the two witnesses,
the forthresurrection
is that of the 144,000 Jews;
the fifth
resurrection is that after the
1,000 yearn the of the
un-believers who have to
face the judgment of G-D!

Revelation 11:7-11

8

Apostles James and John would have duplicated
Elijah?
acts, but Yeshua rebuked them!

Luke 9:54-56

No

The
ark of Noah is an Old Testament-type & shadow or 'picture' of the
'rapture'! The righteousness were been brought on the ark in order to be
saved. It boor the righteousness above the wrath of G-D still it was
subsided, brought them right back on the Earth to continue to carry
G-D's plan!
G-D always removed the righteousness before and after His wrath.
Righteousness are not appointed to wrath! Noah and his family
escaped from
disasters on planet Earth! Also Lot
escaped the judgment
on Sodom & Gomorrah!

the many saints that were resurrected after His resurrection; "The first-fruits"

The 'nowadays-well-dressed Christian' still has more to put on
in order to follow the Lord's example! "Clothe yourself with the
'cloth' of...humility"! Humility is the next instruction from
the Scripture!
This humble mindset gives us a low opinion of ourselves, and
only the Holy Spirit can provide us with such a 'rare garment'. It is so easy to be
proud because of what we feel are
our superior talents, possessions or achievements. Pride
is so subtle! Humility is not
related to poverty, but to a 'broken spirit'!

1. Enoch
being the first (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5)2. Prophet Elijahwas the
second man to be taken to Heaven in his natural body! (2 Kings 2:11),3. The bodies made
part of the multitude of captives Christ
captured from satan in the
underworld. And the graves
were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And
came out of the graves after His
resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (Matthew 27:52-53)

Prophet Elijahwas the
second man to be taken to heaven in a natural body, (2 Kings 2:11), Enoch
being the first (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5; see Enoch) Both now reside in heaven in their natural bodies, having never died! However, they will die their own appointed death on earth as the 'two
witnesses' of the future tribulation period(Zacharias 4:11-14; Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation11:3-12;) But also Moses
could be a "candidate", because he represented the Law of God,
but he died!
Than in the book of Zechariah; Chapter 4
there are also 2 other potential candidates (?) to be the 2 witnesses:
Zerubbabel
& Joshua!
So we do
not know really for sure who are to be the two witnesses, but some day in G-D's
Divine appointed moment of time they will appear during the
Tribulation-time! Personal, I believe that Elijah
is one of the 'candidates'! Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the Lord: (Malachi
4:5)(See more at "2
Tribulation-witnesses"!)

This prayer
came in inspiration to me when I was studying the book of Daniel. It was
a time of hope-deferred position in a period of my life! I was
encouraged to pray this prayer daily! It was the Holy Spirit, Who was and still is my teacher, that brought this kind of prayer up in my
disrupted and concerned mind! (1 John 2:20; 2:27)

God is about to reveal His already raised Army of "Over-comers"
up; releasing & activate men & women! People of God, specific &
especially chosen & highly anointed! This will be during the
End-Time-Harvest-Revival!
This lesson in the same
way G-D is giving us the last warnings and chances to humble
ourselves, before it really became “Too Late”! In the same way
we as Christian are ‘partying’ with; what we think the
“important men of G-D” in the way we like (by our own mind-set
choice), not understanding and realizing we are grieving G-D’s
Holy Spirit!
Numbered; weighed & Divided …is also the “handwriting” G-D is writing TODAY! You as
Christian, has the make a choice! Your time is running out!He has weighed you; your church, your ministry, your very own
life, etc... on His
scales and decided that ...???The Son of man
Himself is active in the harvest-gathering of the elect! This harvest
could depict a general in-reaping of the (First-fruit) believers
